How to Disable Import Bookmarks Display/Banner First Run

[David M, Virginia]

I am using the Chrome GPO.  I need to disable the Import Bookmarks now Banner.  I have disabled "all import's including files.  I can't seem to turn off the "Import Bookmarks" first run dialog.  Does anybody have any idea's on this?

I do not think it can be disabled. The workaround, if it is possible (I am not familiar with the policies so much), is to add a bookmark to the bookmarks bar (and not within the "Managed bookmarks" folder).

(Another workaround is to hide the bookmarks bar, of course, but it looks like you do want it to show up)

There is no policy for this. But you could check
master_preferences.json. Some settings can be tweaked through that only.

Go to Settings and uncheck "Always show the bookmarks bar" under "Appearance".  If you want to use and show the bookmark bar you'll first have to import something, then delete all or most of it.
